One cultural event organized as part of the initiative was the 1943 Brazil Builds: Architecture New and Old, 1652-1942 at New York's Museum of Modern Art. It had a lasting impact, contributing to solidifying the international renown already achieved by nascent Brazilian Modernist architecture. Bernard Rudofsky, the Austrian architect, designer, curator, and publisher was an important influence and contributor to the exhibition. In 1943, he delivered a lecture at the Fogg Museum in Boston, “On Being an Architect in Brazil.” In his presentation, he offered a detailed and multifaceted perspective on Brazilian Modernist architecture, evoking the influence of Italian architectural trends in Brazil as well as characteristic aspects of the Brazilian context. In this essay, the author explores the roots and components of Brazil Builds as well as Rudofsky's lecture. | |
